Huh?

This is really interesting! But I don't get, perhaps because I'm an American, but how can one misconstrue Fetish to mean "worry?"Arthurian Legend (talk) 22:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You would have to ask Ronnie Campbell MP. His contact details are here. ISD (talk) 07:58, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Creator

Pierced_Knight did not "create" National Fetish Day, he merely publicised it on the web forums of informedconsent.co.uk. This can be checked at: http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/boards/activism/166548/0 He did choose the date, and contact MP Ronnie Campbell, but the idea was not his to begin with. 77.97.245.115 (talk) 10:31, 4 February 2008 (UTC)webmaster of pervertswearpurple.page.tl[reply]

Fetish pride

Should the article discuss a movement of people embracing their fetishes as somewhat a normal integral part of being a human? It's similar to allergy pride in the 2000s on the concept of being comfortable with their allergies, the same logic of "everyone has an allergy", now "we all have a kink". 2605:E000:100D:E482:E5AE:F5A:2B32:9D12 (talk) 01:46, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
